We are excited to remind you about a tool we built a while back that’s become even more important right now as older adults are being urged to stay at home.

Our virtual course Ready, Set, Bank is a completely free and easy-to-use tool that teaches you how to bank online with any banking institution. With online banking, you can avoid having to visit your local bank branch— you have 24/7 account access to make payments, view transactions, check your balance, and more, all from home.

Tom Kamber, Executive Director of OATS & Senior Planet, welcomes you to the world of online banking.

Ready, Set, Bank

The Ready, Set, Bank portal features a series of short videos that will show you how to enroll in online banking, check your balance, transfer funds, pay bills, download your bank’s app, and more. Tutorials include:

• The Benefits of Banking Online 

• Online Banking Safety and Security 

• Get Started With Online Banking 

• Stay On Top of Your Money 

• Manage Your Account Online

You can watch— and rewatch— all the videos at www.readysetbank.org. They’re also available in Spanish on the same site.

Please Note:

This demo experience is built with static screens to simulate a real website. Because it is not a fully functioning website, some buttons, icons and text fields seen on screen are visual elements only and are not functional. The demo elements that are functional will have a blue box flash when you click in any empty space on the screen. Text fields do not allow typing and will automatically pre-fill with example data when clicked.
